BMW 330i is going to be a good bet. Hot hatches sacrifice comfort for sportiness.

Test drove one of these, then almost bought this exact one. Had a Clio RS at the time. Mad fun cars.

>>15238700
It's a bit chinsey, the Abarth is a fun drive if you ignore the gaudy interior. Base is substandard.

Unrelated, is Toyota making the car you posted in the OP?

Its just kids playing Top Trumps. There is little point in comparing the lap times of street legal cars.

>>15238346
>And then you have people comparing lap times that are less than 1 second different from each other and claiming

I agree with everything you're saying, but a 1 second difference is a pretty significant difference.

I know how you feel op. When I was younger I thought all humans had a penus too. But some have vagunas I learned. You'll learn too.

Because some people are retarded attention whores who don't care about driving yet buy a driver's car anyway.

It's more convenient.

when will you kill yourself?

MAKE WAY FOR GRORIOUS SERB CAR

>>15237874
almost any engine can be rebuilt/repaired. the question is is it worth rebuilding. if it cost more than someone wants to pay for the parts/service than it is a dead engine.

I'm not too sure about the engine, but I'd argue that something like a car's frame (I'm using a BoF as an example) is one of those that can suffer irreparable damage. That is, you must be doing some serious driving to twist/bend the frame in such a way that no matter how much money and time you put into fixing it, you've permanently compromised the integrity of it.

I'm curious to hear about the engine aspect from another anon.

>>15237874
Heat and friction.
And yes, ALL metal on metal contact points will wear away until we find a frictionless surface.
Bearings will always wear due to the heat they're subjected to, and the fact that it's just lubricated metal rolling across lubricated metal. The same thing happens with piston rings, except that's chromium on whatever metal is on the cylinder sleeve. Chromium is used because it has a metallurgy which allows it to expand and keep tension on the wall, preventing much oil / gas mix, but it will still wear away with regular use.
If you keep an engine up through regular service to 400,000 Mi, it will still be less powerful due to wear (lower compression and cam wear mainly) than the same engine at 15,000 Mi.

>>15237787
>are there any tips or tricks i could do to make my car last longer/run better
regular maintenance/servicing (done yourself obviously)

Your car does look pretty clean and well-kept though, the exterior anyway

(OP) Also not my car but exactly like it, same color and everything

Just service it regularly and fix problems when they arise.

Really just changing the oil and oil filter regularly is enough to keep it running almost indefinitely.

R32 is the best experience for a proper driver out of all of those.

It's a used entry level luxury model. An A to B shitbox that likes the taste of premium fuel and costs an arm and a leg for parts.

It isn't worth it.

>>15247909

I only want to put 2000 on the car itself. I still live with my parents and everything so I dont really have any financial burdens to worry about as of now. Plus Im working, so I can afford maintenance and whatnot as long as it's not TOO hefty.

Yeah? No?

>>15247953

Here in Vancouver, used and "for-parts" Audi A4s are all over the market, so finding parts shouldnt be too bad. Not to mention, I've never crashed or damaged a car, so parts isnt a very big concern to me. I just need something that I can daily drive while not looking like a poorfag.

>they lack in updates in engine and comfort.

How exactly would you update the engine? It's more or less a new engine every generation.

>but they lack in updates in engine

Says who..? the engine is down to about 600-650lbs and it weighs less overall than a C7Z. in fact, it weighs around the same as the DOHC GTR engine and i believe it even revs just as high.

>and comfort.

Again, where is this coming from? what reviews have complained about the comfort? reminder that the GTR wasn't even considered a very comfortable car in comparison to MagneRide suspension'd C6 vettes and 911s of the same time in general. (i even heard about this on /o/ from some people who apparently drove earlier GTRs)

>Why is Dodge doing this?

Seems like they are sticking to what originally made the Viper a "Viper"? is that a bad thing? the car has tons of character in my opinion and that's exactly how i want it to go down. id be crushed if they tried to turn it into what the new NSX is. or god forbid Fiat puts their hands way up that car's skirt to the point of turning it into what the New Supra is. a car that rides on a entirely different platform by a different Manufacturer with a different engine configuration (everybody is going twin turbo V6 and i don't want the Viper to be next) built in a different country. when you look at the New Supra compared to the last MKIV i can certainly see why some Supra fans would be upset.

>Why can't Viper be a world class product?

Why is it not one? unless you live in a country with displacement tax and you want them to throw in a 4 cylinder automatic "euro option". (not taking a jab at european sports-car buying habits or europeans in general)

>>15237765
No, Euros are full on cucked and the only reason sports cars still exist is because of the EU and VW (by extension their branches)

Chicago doesn't have much of a car scene. It's all very sparse, like you'll see enthusiasts around but there aren't any crews or meets like socal.

I love Audi, some of the best looking cars imho.

I hate their entitled, manchild drivers. Thank you for proving my point.
